What: The West Michigan Whitecaps have approval from LucasFilm to make their Star Wars themed jerseys for the charity game on July 14, 2007. Michigan trooper Scott Withers TK-1491 designed the very cool looking jerseys. This is NOT 501st merchandise, but rather a blasty great Star Wars collectible we are closely associated with.

They will be making a run of 50 Star Wars jerseys total, three of which will be going to LucasFilm. The team will be offering 18-20 game-worn jerseys for charity during the game: 8-10 will be auctioned off, while another 10 will be raffled off. All the proceeds for those jerseys will be going to our charity: Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The remaining 27-29 jerseys may be purchased by us. The price is going to be around $100 to $120. Anything over the $80 cost to make the jersey will go to Make-A-Wish!

Jerseys: They are white with turquoise, black and gray on them. The jerseys are a regular poly-mesh baseball jersey with the large stormtrooper/imperial logo screen printed on them. The left chest and both sleeves will have patches on them. The number on the back will be sewed on. The team will put names on the back for FREE, but they will be heat sealed.

How to reserve you jersey: We are taking commitments on a first come, first serve basis. ***We cannot guarantee the places for jerseys # 28 and 29 might not be available***

We will have a wait list, in case people that committed can not pay. We still have to find out when and how the team will want payment. It may be in the next few weeks, it might be closer to the game in July. As soon as we know, we?ll pass along that info.
